As far as bad character designs go, I would have to say any teen/adult Goten form is pretty lame. Yamcha's bowl cut design in the Trunks arc wasn't so great either, not as bad as Afro Thunder Bulma from that same arc.

He doesn't really deserve it as he does pretty much nothing in those three episodes, other then looking kinda lame.

I really like the adult Goten design though.

Me too. I don't know why everybody thinks that Z Goten looks bad! For me, GT Goten is the bad one

I dislike GT Goten's clothes more than I do his hair.

Purple slacks?

Ok, Imma try think of some canon failures...

SSJ Trunks /w hairtie looks like he has a golden mustasche on his forehead.

Android #19 looks like a oversized mecha Chaotzu.

...I think thats it, almost all the poor character designs are Toei creations.

How did GT Trunks slip my mind? Beige shorts and a neckerchief, looking cool bro.

I think he means Trunks with his hair tied back after training in The Room of Spirit and Time.

Toriyama designed all of the filler/movie characters, IIRC.

I think he goes SSJ just before turning USSJ, it looks ridiculous

Your telling me that the same guy who thought up Tao Pie Pie and Frieza came up with Bio Broly? No way...

Why the physical embodyment of all the evil in the universe would be like that is beyond me...

The bowl cut's always been one of my absolute favorite Yamcha haircuts actually.

And on the line of more terrible designs...

Image

Hey, I have an idea! We've seen these sayiajin naked half a dozen times and it's painfully obvious the only bodyhair they have is their eyebrows. So let's take all that imaginary bodyhair and eyebrows and plop it on the back of their heads.... Basically making them look like Neanderthals who can't stand straight for pure weight of impossible hair. Genius!

Do you dislike the idea of SSJ3 in general, or just SSJ3 Kid Goku?

And by the way, it doesn't look good when you misspell 'genius' when being sarcastic.

All of them look ridiculous to me. I posted that image because it was the right size.
